Challenges for electronic only library
Cost
As a multidisciplinary research institution, VTT needs content
from several subject areas. Potential users per subject area
are very small. Publishers set prices per FTE.
Devices
Only 10% has handheld computer (iPad etc).
Changing the way to work, news ways need to be learned.

Riitta Tolvanen says: ”VTT has a long tradition of reconciling work and family life. A part of that is the chance to work from home. This has been made possible by the technology that VTTers use every day. Most remote work is clearly ad hoc, rather than regular work for which we would need a separate agreement. VTTers are a highly mobile crew, and you find them working in all kinds of environments and circumstances. Working independently of time and place can be flexible and meaningful, as long as we remember to keep clear goals, regulate our workload and look after our ability to cope.Sari Halme: ”Tämä kuva on kuvapankista ja ns. royalty free –kuva eli voi käyttää missä tahansa VTT:n tuotteessa, mutta ei luovuttaa VTT:n ulkopuolisille.”
